CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It estimates stress load based on major life events that required adjustment in the past 12 months. Higher totals indicate greater cumulative stress and a higher likelihood of stress-related health complaints.

How should items be answered?

Mark each event that occurred within the last year, regardless of whether it felt positive or negative. Count each event once if it occurred, unless the instructions specify otherwise.

How are scores calculated and interpreted?

Each marked event has a preset value, and values are summed to produce a total score. The total reflects overall social readjustment demand; cutoff values shown in some popular versions are not traceable to the original publications and should be used cautiously.

What time period should be used when responding?

Use the previous 12 months, counted back from the current date. If timing is uncertain, use the best estimate and answer consistently across items.

Are the items culturally up to date?

The event list was developed in the United States in the 1960s and may not fit all current cultural contexts. Some wording may be adjusted in online versions to improve clarity without changing the intent of the event.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) Test

stress level

This instrument is designed to quantify recent life change as an index of cumulative psychosocial stress. The Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) asks respondents to indicate which major life events have occurred within a defined period, and a weighted total is used to summarize overall stress-related readjustment demand.

Developed by Holmes and Rahe, it consists of 43 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support clinical formulation and discussion of how recent stressors may relate to current functioning and health concerns; scores should be interpreted in context and are not diagnostic. The Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) may be used in clinical and counseling settings to facilitate structured review of life events and to inform treatment planning and monitoring.
